>>2421956>ill checkout the ultralight scene>I have zero equipmentthe way to go / meta IMO is to take all the little tricks they use like that, and the over-all philosophy of ultralight, but don't go as insane all-out about it as them. its okay to bring some emergency gear and creature comforts and decent food.
last 15 years i've gone between traditional backpacking and ultralight and that's where i'm at right now. light not ultralight.
picrel here's an example of a feature rich and only like ~140-150 gram medical kit that fits in a ziplock i put together the other day because my old one's adhesives were getting crusty. its missing one or two things the drug store didn't have so i listed them under. i'd add vaseline to it too, but i keep vaseline soaked rayon/cotton balls in my fire kit anyways.
just as an example showing some tricks i use to save weight/space without compromising much/any of the capabilities of what i'm bringing.
